The Fury(X) Fiji Owners Thread

[Firefox35]

I stupidly decided to give AMD another go, both my Fury X's had pump whine, not as noticable as some I have heard but I could hear them.

Returned them and bought 2 980ti's, not only are they a lot quicker but quieter too.

Why AMD did not nip this in the bud on day one and issue a statement saying all would be replaced I would have kept them for a month or two then swapped them.

Whatever way you look at it AMD have bodged the launch (if you can call it that) from the start, they lied regarding overclocking, thy lied AGAIN saying only the press review models were faulty.

This is 2015 why leave out HDMI 2.0 compatibility alienating those that game on large 4K TV's ? Then claim "an adaptor will be out soon to fix that"

Idiots!!

Amd sort this mess out or you are gonna force me back to the dark side. I absolutely slated Nvidia for the 970 fiasco and here you are with a similar scenario. Also disappointed with Ocuk response to these defective pumps. The way these graphics companies are behaving and the ridiculous pricing of their cards I'm thinking its time to get out of pc gaming. Had been saving up for a FuryX but I am so disappointed with the false promises (overclockers dream, 4K gaming and 4GB vram) they are both as bad as each other. Might buy a new tv instead.

Any idea on when the new batch of cards are due in? Are people still receiving cards with bad pump whine. Interested in getting one of these but the pump whine would do my head in. I know like all things these days its a lottery but wanted to know if those that recently ordered and had pump whine did these have the revised cooler master pump. (The etched /engraved) logo. Just wondering if this new revision actually fixes the problem.

Yes there are still "whiny pump" cards out there, received a new Sapphire yesterday and still had the problem

 

[Ash0787]

its a shame because I really like richard huddy and I want to escape the clutches of nvidia, have ordered a mini 970 to tide me over until all this is sorted out

Idiots!!

I don't think they're idiots so much as just amateurish. You have to *really* control the flow of information at a launch and they just don't seem to do that! Overclockers nightmare anyone??

nVidia seem to have this part down and you don't read of many hiccups. Probably because if they do **** up then they'll get put in front of a firing squad

But hey, it works!!!

Sorry to hear that Chewie, but thanks for the update. Looks like I'll just wait a a few weeks and see what happens.

I preordered start of the month and I'm not even considering cancelling it. The pump noise will be fixed - so I class that as a null issue for a card that's going to be in my system for 12+ months. Voltage control will be available as soon as the tools catch up, and I can't see it being anything but great for OC'ing based on the numbers. I run 4k - nVidia is notably weaker at high res.
And lastly I can't bring myself to support nVidia - the way they conduct themselves as a business just irks me, everything is all "must lock to nVidia and charge customers a fortune" whereas AMD operate open source and try to HELP the gaming community. So even if I do end up with a card that gets 1-2fps less, I'd rather support AMDs policy and take the hit.

Same here, still waiting for the product. It might only be a good thing that we need to wait a bit, as the chances we get one that has pump noice fixes is higher

AMD actually had a really tight control over this launch, doing everything bit by bit etc.. I mean they've only just released information on the standard Fury. The trouble is that once it's all in the public domain people will make up their own judgements and NVidia basically killed them by releasing 980Ti, not helped by production quality issues (pump noise).

Will you be happy potentially paying a restocking fee if you RMA it for a high pitched whine?.

If you really want to buy one I'd strongly recommend waiting a couple of months for all the first to be cleared.

Got my sapphire card today, not installed it yet, was like a game of russian dolls unboxing it.



First battered box with a big hole in it.



Shipping box, similar to what they did with the 295x2 but much smaller.



Finally!

 

[chroniclard]

Let us know how bad the whine is.

that was fast gerard

Also by then there might be some stock.

Was sent out on the second and was delayed a lot due to the calais strikes so not that fast, was meant to have it tuesday or wednesday just past. The updated info said it would arrive this tuesday then it came today.

 

[Joe!]

Interested to see how it performs.
